Until you realise once your job is done after being activated you may not be worth retrieving or someone else’s activation is to make sure you can’t talk about what you have done.
That’s already a concern in my day to day life.
I’ve been deemed expendable by companies and people have shot at me. Shit just happens man, naturally.
Now I must hear what it is you do, that being used as target practice is a part of your current life.
Retail management. I recently left my job as a district manager for a dollar branded store chain.
I also in my free time help abused people get to the shelters.
I’ve been shot at three times 2 were protecting women leaving, once a banned customer who saw me out on a walk.
Edit: to be clear I was helping women pack not abducting then. When I saw “2 were protecting women” I was talking about me protecting the women not them shooting at me for abducting someone.
Seems like you need to go get a bodyguard certification so you can fight back.
I bet you’re talking about dollar tree or one of the chains they have. Really doesn’t surprise me; the management for that company is a few hairs short of a slumlord. Stay safe

I think the dude replying to me is a dissatisfied sleeper agent.
“The don’t pay your bills, you need certificatation and barb at the service desk is mean to me!”
Dude wear unionizing, don’t fight me, join me!
I’ve been deemed expendable by companies and people have shot at me.
That’s not the typical experience… Mind elaborating a little?
I did in another comment.
More importantly five people liked that comment so it’s not as uncommon as you think
To use silly fake math 5 likes on lemmy is 100,000 on Reddit. That means 104 billion people have experienced it.
The less funny answer is, I’ve worked corporate jobs, and I’ve unfortunately seen people die. I’ve seen the math that goes into that. I’m kinda a safety nut now. “No ones going to pay you if you die watch out how you stack that. You have an arbitration agreement “
Typically you would not have access to the “money” part to maintain your cover. Never be allowed to chill, because chill agents end up in prison.
Sorry for the double reply and I this is shower thoughts not anything scientific. So I’m only being half serious not suggesting I’ll join the cia.
I do have to argue “chill” people don’t get caught at all. That’s what separates a sleeper agent from a spy or espionage agent.
Sleeper agents are just waiting and being a normal dude
But I’ll be out up in place where my job will pay for my living and give me time to “spy” which is just socializing.
Again, your government will not be paying you until you are activated and “maybe” return home.
And you’ll be “spying” on people you’ll probably hate. Like, if you’re given the chance to move up in your cover career to be Epstein’s personal island assistant, you’re obligated to take it and do a good job.
Undercover agents who I’ve heard on podcasts actually do get to know the people and consider them friends.
Why bring it immediately to pedophiles. We know for a fact the cia completely ignored Epstein and his damn island. So why use that as an example if not to shock with “pedophiles “ we aren’t investigating pedophiles which cia sleeper agents. Why are we talking about Epstein lol
It’s like you’re having a conversation with yourself.
Often
No, a sleeper agent will have to have a boring ass regular job as part of the cover. You will literally work more, since you will have to work your regular job and your spy job at the same time.
“We need you to get close to this person. We can’t tell you why”
“And you guys are assigning me friends! I love this job!“
“There’s a good chance one of you will have to betray the other later…”
“I know the risks of getting close to people Greg. I have inner thoughts too”
The fun part is that you can just decide thats what youe life currently is. Your memories of friends and family? All plants. Your lack of kung fu skills? Deliberately dormant until you receive the activation phrase.
I suddenly want to get really into kung fu lol
I also wanna just download the skills to my brain to be instantly good at it.
